Good cos I am retarded when it comes to digital and I still use film.
I have an Olympus point and shoot that is about 20 years old and works great even though I have taken it to the beach for years.

they were surprised and delighted by the unpredictable images it produced In other words, it was bad color photography. Got it.
Actually, that contrasty, saturated look can easily be created with various kinds of filters in Photoshop.

I still have my Mamiya DTL1000 and I also shoot with a digital SLR. I want to also try medium format, so I am looking for a good used Mamiya 645 or RZ67.

I bought a LOMO around 1975 tho it was a twin lens reflex instead of the later LOMOs.
It was a good picture taker tho not in the same class as a Rolleiflex or even a Yashica Mat.
I still remember the translation of the name of the company. “Leningrad Optical Mechanical Works Amalgamated”

Lomo cameras were crappy even by Soviet standards.

Thank you. The Trabant of the photography world. I can produce the lomo effect in photoshop to display the differences.

IMHO digital filters can not reproduce the effects of film.

I miss working in a darkroom. It has been probably 2002 or so since I last used a film camera. These days I use a T2i since it does HD video (primarily a TV person years ago) and good 18 MP images.
I had 20 & 50Ds and 3/4 of the functions I really never used that much.
Most of what I did was virtual tour, ebay sales, events, and the odd model.
A few of the newer albums here are off the T2i.

Some of the HD video lives here:

The ones in question would be the old style campground wide shot and some concrete pouring taken at my neighbors and here when we got the driveway redone.
As fast as equipment becomes obsolete I couldn’t see plunking down for a 60D.

Richard Avedon was my idea of the ultimate professional photographer. I'm not sure but I don't think he ever used a digital camera for his work. Always a Hasselblad or a view camera.

Closer but a ways to go. the first picture screams film yours speaks color saturation. Too perfect, note that the first film drops out the darks and is contrasty in a non linear way.
At least to my eye.

Looks like some vignetting, some oversaturation of colors, and something going on with the dynamic range so more of the image falls off into black.
To: American in Israel
I could have adjusted it but I just used a lomo effect action I grabbed off the net for a quicky demonstration of the effect.

CC - I use photoshop quite a bit but am still learning. Where can I find this ‘ Lomo ‘ affect online. I really like it and would like to apply it to some of the vintage photographs I have collected just to see what happens.

You’ll need photoshop. But when I need something like that I just google “Photoshop + actions”.
These days I mostly just make my own actions for photoshop.
